If Norman farking Dale tells you to sack up and act like a man, you sack up and act like a man.

What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, a Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman?

FTFA: "I knew Bill Murray had my back from the first moment I saw him hiding behind that rock in his cowboy hat."

Bill Murray is awesome.

I had no idea Gene Hackman was that rough to work with. Not the least bit surprising, though, since Royal was one of the most assholish characters I've ever seen. It comes right through.

I do just love that movie. More than anyone else I know.

Agreed.

You realize that you're talking about a fictional character, right? That he was acting? That's his job, you know. He's an actor.

Anyone's a fool who confuses someone's onscreen persona with their actual personality and character. "But he played Popeye Doyle! He gets to do what he wants!" So childish. Grow up and realize that just because somebody's a great actor or musician or artist doesn't mean they have carte blanche to be a douchebag.

From what I've read, Gene never had a very good relationship with his own father. His father was a grumpy German immigrant, his parents got divorced when he was in his early teens and his father cut off communication with the kids, and his mom later died in a fire. He joined the Marines by lying about his age just to leave home. Lot of misery going on.

And let me guess, you've never made any kind of snarky remark about America's worship of celebrities? Maybe in a TMZ thread? Oh but when it's a celebrity YOU like it's OK.

Royal: What the hell kind of way to act is that?

Richie: He's on drugs.

dothemath: 'Tenenbaums' is Anderson's 'Pulp Fiction'.

It is his vision, fully realized. The perfect mesh of all of his favorite themes - absentee parents, social alienation, absurdism.

And, like Tarantino, he has not made a good one since.

The problem with this assertion is that you assume that Wes Anderson ever made a 'good one'.

I'm with Hackman on this. Wes Anderson films are nothing excercises in self aborbtion. Tarantino is only
marginally better; he at least can write snappy (if repetitive and ultimately tiresome) monologues.

Are you having a bad day? You're taking this all very seriously.

cf. Bale, Christian.

Wes Anderson sounds like a foppish twat.
